ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Daniyal Aziz has decided to move court against International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) for wrongly naming Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s in the Panama Papers, Dunya News reported.

Daniyal Aziz said that Nawaz Sharif was targeted in the Panama Papers by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).

The new twist in the Panama Papers issue came when the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists – a global union which exposed ownership of offshore companies by publishing Panama Papers – clarified that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s name was mistakenly appeared in Panama Papers due to editing error.

“Nawaz Sharif’s name doesn’t appear in original documents of Panama Papers, however a sentence included in Panama Papers story implied as if Pakistani Prime Minister directly controls the offshore companies,” a statement read.
